The actual order of cheating/soulstone use...

[DaLoon]

Quick question, forumites.

A question arose last night in the first night of the Malifaux league being run at Asgard Games in Houston (shameless plug- y'all were great!).

In regards to timing of cheating and soulstone use, I've been playing things one way (for like... a year and a half lol) and the store has been playing another. Which of these two breakdowns is the correct one?

Scenario A

-Both players make their initial duel flips to determine a winner/loser

-Losing player chooses to cheat or not

-Winning player can now choose to cheat or not

-Losing player can now choose to soulstone or not

-Winning player can now choose to soulstone or not

-Final results/triggers are determined

ooooor...

Scenario B

-Both players make their initial duel flips to determine a winner/loser

-Losing player chooses to cheat or not AND to use a soulstone or not

-Winning player chooses to cheat or not AND to use a soulstone or not

-Final results/triggers are determined

As I said I've been playing it one way with my little merry band of Mali-do'wells for a good long time now, and the folks at the new store have been playing it the other way. After we played our league games and sat down to mull it over we all seemed to think the wording could be kinda taken either way and we vowed to ask y'all.

Apologies if this question has been answered in the past, but my search fu has grown weak and feeble with age.

Thanks in advance!

B.

Also cheating comes before soulstones.

So the loser first cheats if they want to them soulstones if they want to.

Then the winnder does the same.
